Darren Bent says he’s already noticed something about Ange Postecoglou at Nottingham Forest that’s not right

Ange Postecoglou has got a real job on his hands to revive the fortunes of Nottingham Forest in the coming weeks.

Postecoglou has overseen five matches with the Reds and is yet to experience being on the winning side during his time at the football club.

Forest were beaten 1-0 by Sunderland at the weekend, and there will almost certainly be some changes to the starting line-up to face Midtjylland tomorrow night.

Players are pushing for places under Postecoglou, and until he finds a winning formula, the changes will likely continue at the City Ground.

It would appear as though some pundits just can’t overlook the Forest head coach’s torrid form with Tottenham last season, and already the knives are being sharpened.

What Darren Bent has noticed about Ange Postecoglou

This does feel a little bit harsh on Postecoglou, but quite clearly, the pundits are already happy to mock him over his efforts at Forest.

Bent has already spotted something in Postecoglou’s mannerisms that suggests he’s already struggling to prove his critics wrong.

He said on TalkSPORT: “If you’re talking about performances on the pitch, I know what he said off the pitch is why he ultimately lost his job, but I trust Nuno and I think he was getting the best out of this Forest squad.

“It’s a big job for Ange and even when he does his interviews now. I’m watching him. The body language is all off.”

Postecoglou desperately needs a win

Given that Midtjylland played on Monday and played fierce title rivals Copenhagen on Sunday, this really feels like a must-win game for Forest.

Losing doesn’t bear thinking about, and the atmosphere at the City Ground could get very toxic should the result not go Forest’s way.

Postecoglou has already managed to get some positive performances out of the players since he arrived, but his job will be judged on results.

A draw and two defeats in the Premier League are hardly ideal, and now it’s very important that Postecoglou gets some respite with a win over the Danish outfit tomorrow.
